Awaking

Steve didn’t know where to start as he gazed upon Bucky’s glossy eyed expression through the glass of the cryochamber. What Steve wouldn’t give to have to his old Bucky back. As soon as he thought that Steve immediately regretted it. It was selfish of him to think of his needs first especially after everything Bucky had gone through.
Steve continued to stare at the cold glass for another fifteen minutes before T’challa came in through the door. “Did you find anything new?” Steve asked his eyes refusing to meet the king’s. “Maybe” T’challa said hopefully. “What… do you think he could come out?” Steve responded almost immediately gesturing to the cryotank. Steve knew he was being a bit to hopeful, but that is what he needed to be… full of hope, for Bucky; a man who had lost all of his own hope. Steve was starting to get lost in his slightly depressed thoughts, and almost missed what T’challa was saying. “Possibly, it is up to you Cap, if we could do the procedures while he is awake, it may take less time, but more painful,” T’challa spoke soft yet concerned. “Let”s do it!” Steve said a little bit too quickly. “Why don’t you think if over for the night, I can give you the all the files we have” T’challa seemed to be a bit cautious. Steve didn’t understand why they would wake him up, but he agreed to think it over. “The files will be dropped off at your room” T’challa said before existing swiftly. Steve took one more said look at his best friend. “ I’m going to make it all better, Buck I swear, I’m with you till the end of the line” and with those simple words Steve made one last glance at Bucky before returning to his room.
Steve though it was funny how T’challa referred to his sleeping quarters as a room, it was at least five times bigger than the flat he shared with Bucky in Brooklyn and much warmed too. Steve saw that the files were lying on his bed just like the king has promised. Before digging to the large pile of files Steve looked at the lush juggle through his wall which was one large window. He remember that day him and Bucky got there. Bucky had looked around in awe like he did a the science convention.
Steve let his mind wander for a bit for more looking at the files begrudgingly. Just as he had expected all of them were chalk full of medical terms he had no clue what they meant.
After finishing reading all the files Steve glanced at his clock. Two A.M it read. Steve put his head in his hands before getting up to grab some coffee. Steve started making his way through the dark white washed hallways. Steve knew he could just call and have someone bring him coffee, but Steve liked doing it himself. While the coffee was heating up Steve reopened some of the less confusing files he brought along with him. As soon has Steve got his coffee he sat down at the marble island and tried to simplify the procedure. The gist of it was that Bucky would wake up and have the trigger words read to him over and over again until he could break them. The breaking part is where steve would come in. Just like on the falling aircraft which felt like centuries ago, Steve would have to remind Bucky of who he was.
